To not give away the surprise ending. Look at the description and think about it again. "Owned" would tell you that you're not about to see a difficult shot trick...

I've done that a bunch of times but with a beer cap...the nickle looks like it would be easier to pull off....hmmm.

If I were the shooter, I would be all like, "Oh man, I don't know what went wrong there! It usually works! Here, let's try it again. Assume the position."

So how does one cause the ball to jump off the table like that anyway?

Either with some really good bottom english or that was infact the real nickel trick.

I love the sound he makes as it impacts - it encompasses 'Ouch' with 'Oh fuck it's a trick' with 'My Balls!'

My grandpa was a pool shark, but he taught me this one using the cue chalk as the nickel. It works, but I think the nickel might be better.

My first thought was that he messed up the trick. Then I realized that WAS the trick and I laughed. I TOTALLY would have fallen for that. Maybe twice.

What exactly was he pretending the trick to be? And why would the other guy need to hold onto the balls? I just need to know so I can pull this trick off myself.

All you have to do is be able to hit the cue ball straight. If you can hit the nickle, or what ever object you want to hop, the cue ball will jump. You just need something that has enough mass that it won't shoot away when the cue ball hits it and is thick enough that the cue ball has to leave the table to go over it.

Prior to watching this video, I was convinced that footbags weren't popular outside of killing time at marching band competitions. I don't think any of these guys have been marching recently.

Like the previous video, this is another live performance by Stevie Wonder on Sesame Street. Again, I'm awestruck by how incredible this performance is, and regret not being able to appreciate Stevie during his prime.

It surely took thousands of attempts for these guys to hit the trash with their cans on the first toss, every single time. And, while it's clearly staged, the effect of seeing all these shots back to back is kinda cool.
